5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/15/18
C.J. Miles is in line to see extended minutes with the Raptors thin on the wing. Who else is in play at a low price tonight?

Jarell Martin, PF, Memphis Grizzlies

FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 16.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.47

A year ago, a matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls would've been one of the most unattractive fantasy games on any slate. Both teams were slow in pace and had very respectable defenses, but the same can't be said in 2018. As both teams tank for draft picks, they rank among the bottom-eight teams in defensive rating and net rating since the All-Star break.

For Thursday night, Vegas has Memphis and Chicago down for a combined 212.5 points. It's not among the highest over/unders, yet it shouldn't eliminate any plays from this game -- especially one as cheap as Jarell Martin.

In his role, Martin could easily pay off his price tag. He's played both forward spots this season, and he even started the team's last game at small forward against the Milwaukee Bucks. Going back eight games, he's been a lock for 28 or more minutes. As a result, he's averaged 24.6 FanDuel points over that span -- 1.6 higher than what he needs to reach value tonight. On a slate with little obvious value, Martin stands out in an otherwise meaningless NBA game.
